If a RHP is in the budget I would 100% go that route. You wouldn't need any other heat sources. Run your RHP through a thermostat and that's it, good to go.
It'll take a little tinkering to get the temps dialed in, but once it's set you're good to go. Just double check daily to make sure equipment is working.
I have a few RHPs, but not in my Kings enclosure. I just heat with a lamp on a thermostat. During the winter I have to run 2, but the rest of the year 1 is enough.
If you're worried about another escape or the tiny juveniles you could always go with a sub adult or adult. They're a little tougher to find, but they're always available.

Oooh, neat that is great to hear!
I was definitely leaning toward RHP, so that helps~ !
...And that does explain that. XD I'll leave the hotspot lower and just carefully tinker with it, then. To see how it goes/how my eventual noodle handles it.
The one that can give you the BEST answers is the one living in the enclosure, after all!
Ah I was thinking about possibly trying for a sub-adult, or an adult, but I wasn't sure.
Thank you! I may just try and see if I can get a slightly older one after all~
Thank you so much for the helpful info!
